Well, for one, she’s playing a show that costs actual money at Terminal 5 come Monday, and there are reasons why everyone involved would probably rather the free show get announced after that. (Though the Must Hall of Williamsburg, owned by the same Bowery Presents that owns Terminal 5, just retweeted M.I.A.’s announcement–make of that what you will.) Even though this free show is supposedly meant only for aggrieved HARD Fest ticketholders, you can see why this email is likely going out next week, after the show, and not today. But what do we know? Feelers are out to all involved; we’ll update with confirmation or lack thereof.
